A member of the Leading Hotels Of The World, the Falkensteiner Kronplatz in Riscone is all suave design, bright open spaces and luxury living. If you’re a mountain lover who enjoys mixing activity with relaxation, then you’re in the right place.

The rooms are calm and classy rest spots, which come with stocked minibars and your own private balcony. There's the huge 1400m² Acquapura Summit spa that's all about finding your flow with a yoga studio, Finnish sauna with fab views, two heated outdoor pools – one of them on the rooftop – and even a climbing wall. Follow up a spell here with a cocktail and a game of chess at the snazzy On The Rocks bar at the heart of the hotel.

The food, too, is everything you’d expect from a 5-star. The 7Summit Restaurant prides itself on fresh regional ingredients and fine-looking food, and you’ll get 4 courses with a choice of dishes each evening. Waking up, breakfast is its own banquet – so fill your plate and get slope-ready. When you’re all geared up, it’s only a 5-minute walk to the ski station, so you’ll be heading up the mountain in a gondola in no time.
